Picker going with Huskers...again

Despite what was clearly two of human creation’s all-time worst upset picks, Gazette scribbler R.B. (Really Bad-dancer) Headley rebounded for a 38-8 record during college football action last week.

Rarely Brilliant (make that never) took Nebraska to beat No. 14 Wisconsin (what the?) and Navy downing Notre Dame (even worse).

Yet his overall record remains strong at 383-124 while rattling off all the non-Top 25 picks abouit 10 minutes before today’s press deadline.

Top 25 big-game predictions will appear in Friday’s Gazette.

TONIGHT

Woeful NORTH CAROLINA STATE wins at even more woeful Georgia Tech.

FRIDAY

Look out for COLORADO STATE to knock off rival Wyoming and keep both teams alive for some sort of bowl named after a boring corporate sponsor. What ever happened to Walnut or Weedeater bowls?

SATURDAY

BRIGHAM YOUNG ends Massachussett’s 1-11 season with one more defeat.

CENTRAL FLORIDA triumphs at Tulane.

MICHIGAN STATE contnues the dumpster fire known as Rutgers football, though Sparty isn’t too hot these days.

VIRGINIA over in-state foe Liberty.

Ball State-Kent State? Bad matchup.

East Carolina at Connecticut? Even worse.

Let’s take KENT at home and EAST CAROLINA since UConn is worse than every other Division I team except Massachussetts.

GEORGIA STATE keeps South Alabama at one win. The Jags never recovered from their narrow miss at Nebraska in August.

AIR FORCE at New Mexico. The Falcons are flying strong at 8-2 and make it nine.

ARKANSAS STATE over Georgia Southern;

NORTH CAROLINA knocks off mighty Mercer; VIRGINIA TECH tops Pittsburgh and sets up a showdown with rival Virginia to see how gets slobber-knocked by Clemson in the ACC title game.

A quartet of Conference USA affairs — MARSHALL at Charlotte, UAB over Louisiana Tech, NORTH TEXAS at Rice and SOUTHERN MISS over Western Kentucky takes us to the “big one”:

Nebraska at Maryland.

Rude Buggar believes reverse psychology might work since the Huskers never win when he picks them anymore. But he can’t do it. Take NEBRASKA one last time.

VANDERBILT over East Tennessee State (yay!), though RB discovered a great donut shop and ice cream store in Johnson City where ETSU resides.

STANFORD wins Big Game over rival California, SYRACUSE at Louisville, SAN JOSE STATE over Unlversity and then some Sun Belt games RB will skip. KANSAS STATE at Texas Tech, WAKE FOREST over Duke and more Friday.
